Manchester City’s Gabriel Jesus saw a potential winning goal for Manchester City against Tottenham on Saturday chalked off following a VAR review.

Under the new changes to the laws of the game which took effect from June 1, any use of the hand which leads to a goal or a goal-scoring opportunity will be penalised, whether intentional or otherwise.

Holloway was a guest on ‘The Debate’ show on Sky Sports during Tuesday evening, when he was asked for his view on the issue, after the VAR review had spotted the ball deflected to Jesus off the hand of City defender Aymeric Laporte.

The former QPR and Crystal Palace boss said the new rule which ‘doesn’t make sense’ should be ‘got rid of straight away’ and the incident was not a ‘clear and obvious’ mistake.

Holloway then added: “I think that is people telling us what we should do with our game. They should stop doing that – I hope we get out, Brexit, because that’s what we all voted for. And sort that out because you cannot have someone telling us how to do our own game.”

Speaking to the Press Association news agency on Wednesday, Holloway, 56, wanted to make his reasoning behind the analogy clear.

“What I said was I am sick and fed up of other people telling us what we should do. I am not blaming the Brexit people for what they have done to football, it is just nonsense,” Holloway told PA.

“No way should they have changed that handball rule when they are bringing in VAR – and there is no way we should still be in the EU if we have all voted to get out.”

Almost 52 per cent of the population voted to leave the European Union in the 2016 referendum.
